Josh M. Harrison, Partner
Josh Harrison was born on August 4, 1951, in Fort Worth, Texas, and grew up in the Fort Worth area.  In 1964, his family moved to Austin, Texas where he graduated from Saint Stephen's Episcopal School in 1969.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1973, Josh went on to obtain his M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin Graduate School of Business, in 1975.  During this time he was a member of the United States Coast Guard Reserve, from which he was honorably discharged in 1975.
Immediately after completing his graduate studies, Josh began employment with Tennessee Gas Transmission, a subsidiary of Tenneco, as a financial analyst, evaluating the profitability of supplemental gas supply projects. He worked briefly for Cities Service as a financial analyst in 1978-79, but returned to Tennessee Gas Transmission in 1979 where he served as a Senior Rate Analyst, for a regulated interstate pipeline system. He transferred to the parent company, Tenneco, in 1980, and was promoted to Financial Specialist, with responsibility for monitoring financial restrictions on Tenneco's operations, by virtue of various loan covenants.
During the time he was employed in the gas industry, Josh attended law school at night at South Texas College of Law, from which he received his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in 1983.
After being admitted to the bar in 1983, Josh began his practice in Houston with Dyche & Wright, which later merged with the firm of Phillips, King & Smith. This practice was concentrated in the areas of commercial litigation and bankruptcy litigation representing financial institutions and other business creditors.
From November, 1986, to September, 1988, he practiced with the firm of Boyar, Norton & Blair, emphasizing general civil litigation, creditors' bankruptcy representation, labor law, consumer transaction litigation on behalf of retailers, as well as litigation in the areas of lender liability, title fraud, and trade secrets.
He joined Hagerman & Seureau in September, 1988, and practiced with that firm until March, 1992, when the firm's ongoing practice was largely concluded, as a result of the retirement of its owner. During his tenure at Hagerman & Seureau, he practiced with an emphasis on commercial litigation, creditors' bankruptcy practice, foreclosure, lender liability defense, general business litigation, and defense of deceptive trade practice actions.
Josh is a licensed Certified Public Accountant, in addition to being licensed to practice law in the courts of the State of Texas, the State of New Mexico, the United States District Courts for the Southern, Eastern, Northern, and Western Districts of Texas, and the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.  In addition to the State Bar of Texas, he is a member of the Texas Association of Bank Counsel and Houston Bar Association.  He also served as an officer and director of the Houston FM 1960 Rotary Club. Additionally, from 1984 to 2001, he has been actively involved in youth soccer, through the Klein Soccer Club, Classics Soccer Club, and Klein Quest Soccer Club, as a coach, referee, officer, and a member of various Boards of Directors.
Josh and his wife, Vicky, live in the Klein area with their two sons, Joshua and David.  Vicky is self-employed as a landscape, wildlife and portrait artist.  Joshua is a graduate of Texas A&M University in College Station, Class of 2001, with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Distribution and a Masters in Education.  Joshua is teaching history at Kingwood High School and is coaching the Junior Varsity soccer team.  David graduated from Texas Tech University with a double major in Management and Marketing, and is a licensed real estate agent, currently working in Lubbock.
